Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 680 How to fight

After Ye Siniang finished speaking, Li Shimin's attention turned to Tang Jian from the Ministry of Rites and Du Ruhui from the Ministry of War.

The two shook their heads at the same time. They have not received official documents yet.

"How credible?" Qin Qiong asked.

"I don't know, this news comes from Nishu Khan, but it is unknown whether the other party really surrendered me to the Tang Dynasty, or a conspiracy. Nishu Khan told us the news that Wenyue Pavilion sent to the people of Western Turks, hoping to help verify it. Nilu Khan believes that this situation is not suitable for formal submission of documents to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War."

Ye Siniang said that the news was unconfirmed, and she was right.

Ni Yu didn't know if the other party was sincere or fake.

Li Shimin asked, "The name of that Khan?"

"Back to the sage, the Western Turks call him Qibi Heli Khan." Ye Siniang replied.

Li Shimin pointed to the little eunuch next to him who was in charge of recording: "Write down this name." Then he said to the ministers: "When Liu Mu comes over, let him make a calculation. If he believes in me, he will believe it. If he believes it, send someone to contact him. Nishi Khan is currently restrained by the civil strife in the Western Turks, so he cannot send a large number of troops to attack Gaochang."

Calculation?

Few people believe it, but one thing is true, Liu Mu's luck is quite against the sky, Qin Qiong actually believes in Liu Mu's so-called intuition.

Ye Siniang continued to report: "On the northern grassland, the Huihe people fought with Xue Yantuo and Jieli twice. General Ashnadur has sent [-] elite cavalry to mediate the knot, and General Zhili Sili personally Bringing [-] elites and sweeping the unknown tribes of Jieli. The official military report will come back at most on the fifth day of the first lunar month.”

Xiao Yu asked: "Why did the news of Wenyue Pavilion spread so quickly?"

"Zuo Pushe, we use pigeons, and the military newspapers use horses. Pigeons are not very safe, so we use secret language to write. Many times, even if the sealed paper is filled with water, the handwriting is also unrecognizable. I don’t know, this time it’s the note that changed color, so I don’t know how many Xieli tribes General Zhili Sili attacked.”

Ye Siniang's explanation satisfied all the ministers.

Relying on a pigeon to pass it on, there must be no one riding a horse on his back.

Pigeons can be killed by hawks, all kinds of accidents can happen, and it is a bird after all, and it makes sense that you can't put important things on the bird.

"The unconfirmed news that I want to say is that people lurking in the Jieli Ministry have reported back that Jieli seems to want to come to the Tang Dynasty to ask for a marriage ceremony."

"Ha!" Li Shimin commented on this piece of information with a weird word Ha.

Immediately afterwards, the entire hall burst into laughter.

Qin Qiong said coldly: "Just by chance, Xue Yantuo, who is still mercenary, will live and die in the future, and we are still watching their attitudes and actions in the past few years. After all, Jieli Yili is the overlord of one party. It would be immoral to kill him. But Chang'an City is not too small, it is still benevolent to give him a house to support his life."

Li Shimin clapped his hands lightly twice: "Shubao's words are deeply in my heart, well said."

Qin Qiong bowed and sat back down again.

"Why don't we fight Jieli first?" Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, suggested.

Li Shimin smiled and asked: "I only ask one question. After two years, the silk produced on Wajima will make Tang's silk cheap, or will it be temporarily sealed."

"This..." Liu Zhenghui also understood now that Gao Jing must fight.

There would be no Silk Road without defeating Gaochang, and it would take at least a year to stabilize all regions of the Western Regions after defeating Gaochang.

Cui Junsu turned his head to the side and asked Liu Ruyu: "Chairman Liu, how many acres of mulberry forests are there in the Japanese island on the account of the general secretary?"

"Cui Shangshu, the first batch of silk from autumn silkworms may have been shipped to Huating. Two years later, there will be more than 60 mu of mature mulberry forests on Wozhuzi Island, one million small mulberry forests, and one million new mulberry forests. Two years later. The domestic raw silk production is not enough to supply the needs of Datang, but after three years there will be a total of more than 300 million mu of mature mulberry forests, and the raw silk production is quite astonishing.”

Liu Ruyu doesn't need to explain, even the generals present here know how much raw silk is represented by an acre of mature mulberry forest.

At least thirty to forty catties of fresh cocoons.

Cui Junsu stood up straight: "Saint, Gaochang must be attacked. From now on, Gaochang must be attacked within six months."

After finishing speaking, Cui Junsu said to the ministers again: "Everyone, let's not say how many silk workshops each family has. The folks in Datang have built a lot of silk workshops in the past two years. If silk is cheap, the result will be that the craftsmen have no way out. There will be troubles in dozens of prefectures in the important towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the Silk Road must be opened up, and it must be opened up immediately."

All the ministers agreed with this statement.

The silk workshop can be said to be the workshop with the highest technology, highest quality and highest output owned by nobles and folks.

If the silk industry is damaged, it will not only be a headache for the nobles, but the economy of the state capitals will be seriously affected. This cannot be tolerated, so fighting Gaochang is the only way to go.

Fang Xuanling came out at this moment, instead of standing up straight to speak, he walked into the hall.

"Saint, the Supreme Emperor. Please take a look at the list of the Huayuan secret library."

"Don't even think about it, I haven't even read the detailed list." Li Yuan refused directly.

Fang Xuanling took two steps forward: "Saint, the Supreme Emperor. I invite the Huayuan County Secret Treasury to fund the western expedition. As for the settlement issue, let the Ministry of Households discuss it."

"Saint, the Supreme Emperor." Cui Junsu also jumped out: "I think that among the ordnance purchased last time, some of the ordnance prices were too high. Please review the price."

Li Shimin stood up: "Ghost workers are high-quality steel, and they may be refined for a hundred furnaces before they get a glimpse of the way. Is this considered a coin?"

"Forget it. But even if the household department is being taken advantage of, it wants to be clear."

Cui Junsu still wants to know the low price.

"Let me tell you, the workshop cost of the Hengdao is about 260 to 200 coins. A restricted area in Huayuan is named Guigong Valley. As of today, no less than 100 million coins have been spent on the trial production of this kind of object. I know that Liumu has sent another one million guan, it seems to be a request to make an object that I don't understand before May next year."

Tang Emperor Li Shimin was obviously speaking for Liu Mu.

But it also makes sense.

Xiao Yu got up: "Sage, Cui Shangshu. Don't talk about the big and small generals, even the wolf squatting small cannon. I believe that anyone here can't build a million guns. It's worth the money. The old minister has a suggestion. I see that the Yinshan Household Department is no longer there, and the Shipping Department is no longer there. All the output will go to Huayuan Guigong Valley, and then Huayuan Armaments will increase the cost of the workshop by 100% or [-]%?"

"I think it's appropriate." Cui Junsu was the first to express his support.

A mountain of silver must be dug out.

Li Shimin didn't answer, because he knew that Liumu's Guigong Valley spent a lot of money, and any thing he was trying to manufacture there was enough to affect the fate of the Tang Dynasty, so he couldn't save the expenses there.

"My minister will add two more. Regardless of whether Liu's son-in-law finds gold mines or silver mines outside the Tang Dynasty, the output will belong to Guigong Valley." Xiao Yu raised the price again.

　What a shame...

　　Talk about broken chapters, how can there be broken chapters?

　　This kind of thing doesn't exist, it's all a coincidence, and it's a coincidence that such a painful thing happens, so it's definitely not intentional, it's all a coincidence.

　　That's right, it's just a coincidence.

　　Updates are added on Saturdays and Sundays, and updates are guaranteed.
